In the evenings, watch plays and concerts outdoors in the Sleep Country Amphitheatre and Esther Short Park, a picturesque square with public art and a playground.

Head out into the natural beauty of Southwest Washington. Hike to the crater of Mount St. HelensOpens in a new window, a volcano that last erupted in 1980.
